The Foundation Additional April 13, 2016 PIC Meeting Materials - PIC Agenda Item 13b  Developing authentic relationships must rise in priority  Community Policing: “ Relationship Based” vs. “Problem Solving”  Focusing on relationships builds communication, which builds understanding, which builds trust, which builds mutual support and respect  Relationships create personal accountability in both directions Page 11 of 39

Additional April 13, 2016 PIC Meeting Materials - PIC Agenda Item 13b The Foundation Communication Personal Understanding Accountability Relationship Building Mutual Support and Trust Respect Page 12 of 39

The Foundation Additional April 13, 2016 PIC Meeting Materials - PIC Agenda Item 13b  Priority is reducing barriers and encouraging casual contacts and communication  Vehicles, including bicycles, create a barrier  Officers use their first names  Contacts become less about enforcement, conflict, and crisis  Relationship building is not reliant on foot patrol, but foot patrol is extremely effective  Foot patrol is less efficient for other patrol functions Page 13 of 39
